How to connect DP output from NI PXIe-8880 to 2 HP Monitors?

[zou]

The monitors have no DP output, so cannot be chained together.  The monitor has one DP input port and one HTML input port. 

And I have a HP Thunderbolt G4 cube.  Is it possible to use the cube to split the DP signal for the 2 monitors?

Anyone did this before?

8880 has only one DP port output. This cannot be split into two by itself. HP Thunderbolt G4 cube is useless as the 8880 does not have a Thunderbolt port (nope Thunderbolt is based on PCIe and not compatible with USB3 port).

The only option is to get a USB 3.0 to HDMI or DP adapter like the one below.

Thanks for reply.

But why I can't split the DP signal to two?

using something like:

Or using an USB3 to USB-C adapter like:

The first one could work. I don't know how it will show up in display settings. Using the USB 3.0-HDMI/DP adapter will show up as another monitor in the display settings.

How do you imagine the USB C to USB A female adapter used when there is no USB-C port on 8880?
